| pingstumea | Hi, I have a custom post type for which I've built a form containing the custom field "File Upload" which you provide by default. My problem is that when I publish a post and use the file uploader the file does not get attached to the post. It uploads all right and I can se it in my media library but it says that it's unattached. Why? Is there a setting I have missed? |

| Did you provided the meta key for the “File Upload” custom field? Do you see the custom field in the WordPress admin area post edit screen? |

| I can see the metabox “WPUF Custom Fields” in the post edit screen but there is nothing in it. Where do I provide the meta key? |

| In the form Editor, when you click on the custom fields element |

| Ok I got it working now, thanks. My problem was that I was not able to figure out how to create a permanent custom field for a custom post type in my functions.php, so I resorted to using a plugin (Advanced Custom Fields). When I entered the meta key for the custom field I created with ACF the file I uploaded got attached. I would like to solve this without being dependant on a plugin in the future. Do you know of good resource on how to create a custom field(file upload) for a custom post type without the use of a plugin? |
